Real Art Studios

I’ve had a studio here for 3 years, and have always found the manager to be friendly and fair. Most important, the spaces are beautiful and the rent is relatively cheap.

This is a potentially cool artist studio building that is unfortunately managed by an unprofessional, unethical and unreasonable individual. I shared a studio here previously and was kicked-​out with a 3-​day notice. Why? Because the property manager did not get along with my studio mate. Keep in mind that I was clean, respectable, and I always paid on time. The manager, who I will not name, told me one moment that I could take over the lease from my studio mate (which still had about two years on it), and hours later she changed her mind and told me that she rented the space to somebody else. This individual runs her building with no regard for her tenants or for their legal rights. When I brought up the law regarding the time necessary for legal eviction, she threatened to padlock the doors and throw my things on the street. Since I was not interested in calling her bluff (and seeing my artwork ruined), her bullying tactics prevailed.
RENTERS BEWARE!
